The highly anticipated spider worms the title of the sequel has now been announced for just over a year. Shortly after, in December 2021, Sony Pictures Animation released the first teaser for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Since then, there have not been many project updates.
In the movie, Miles Morales will return to the big screen with Gwen Stacy and a new cast of Spider-People as they battle an enemy more formidable than any foe they’ve ever faced. As can be seen from the first glimpse, Spiderman 2099 will be one of the new faces entering the multiverse.
We also know the movie will feature a handful of new Spider-Variants. These include Spider-Punk, Cyborg Spider-Woman, Scarlet Spider, Supaidaman (the Japanese Spider-Man), Spider-Woman voiced by Jessica Drew, and Spider-Man: India. No information has been released regarding the future of the original Spider-Men team. Only Jake Johnson’s Peter B. Parker and Nicolas Cage’s Spider-Noir from the first movie are set to return in the sequel.
Plus, we now know that more Spider heroes will be in this movie, and this time around, they’re all people we’re all connected to.

It looks like Yuri Lowenthal (the voice actor for Insomniac’s Playstation Spider-Man game) is also joining Josh Keaton and Christopher Daniel Barnes’ renditions of the character from Spectacular Spider-Man and the ’90s Animated Spider-Man series, respectively. This would add to the abundance of Spider-Men in the animated sequel.
